Alaska DVR Moves to Production with
AWARE v5
On Tuesday March 18, 2008
Alaska Department of
Vocational Rehabilitation successfully lead the
way as Alliance's first UMS customer to
transition to
AWARE v5.
Alaska initially implemented
AWARE v4 in
2004, replacing their old client-server case
management system.
Their v5 transition strategy
included a rolling transition with each of its 8 regions
receiving a full day of training broken into 2 parts over 2
days. Jane McIntosh, Alaska Department of Labor and
Workforce Development Program Coordinator commented
that their training went very well and that their
Users picked up AWARE v5
quickly and their feedback was positive.
This is a
big milestone for Alaska DVR as well as for
Alliance. We congratulate Alaska on their success and look
forward to working with them many years to come!
